At Manchester Fertility, we understand that the journey to parenthood is sometimes filled with unexpected challenges. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to experience the joy of becoming a parent and for some, egg donation offers a hope. There are many situations where people may decide that egg donation is right for them, which include:
- When age or premature menopause mean a woman can't produce her own eggs
- When there is a low chance of success using the patients' own eggs
- Known fertility challenges
- Women whose own eggs carry a risk of a genetic disorder
- Medical treatment, e.g. chemotherapy to treat cancer
If you need donor eggs for your fertility treatment, our team are here to make that possibility a reality. In this blog, we highlight the stories of patients who used donor eggs to start or grow their family with Manchester Fertility.
Charlotte & Ashley
“After having a bad experience with another fertility clinic, we knew we needed to transfer our care to another clinic if we were going to try IVF treatment again. When researching our options online, we found Manchester Fertility and are so glad we did.
We underwent IVF using donor eggs due to my carrier status for the fragile X syndrome gene. This gene carries a high risk of developmental challenges for any child.
The facilities, team, and support at Manchester Fertility were exceptional. Everyone involved was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Regardless of how many rounds of IVF we went through, the support remained consistently excellent. The aftercare is absolutely amazing as well, which is crucial during IVF.
We want to thank the egg donation team and Doctor Peter; without them, we wouldn’t have had Emily. We wholeheartedly recommend Manchester Fertility Clinic to anyone looking to start a family. They make everyone feel supported and valued throughout their personal journey. The entire team is dedicated to making your journey successful and fulfilling your dreams.”
Ian & Philippa
“Manchester Fertility provided us with an extremely welcoming and reassuring experience at a time when we thought becoming a family might not be possible for us.
Choosing to use Manchester Fertility’s egg donor programme and the subsequent IVF process was the best decision we could make; everyone was so kind and informative, and we felt fully supported and comfortable throughout.
We are so grateful for our precious baby girl, and we will never forget what Manchester Fertility and our donor have done for us; thank you for completing our dream of becoming a family.”
Emma & Ian
“This is Evie and Joe, who is finally a big brother! We never thought we would get a daughter and a little sister for Joe. Thanks to everyone at the clinic who has helped us and put up with me crying at every appointment. Lots of love, Emma, Ian, Joe and Evie.”
Amanda & Martin
“We just wanted to introduce you to our new arrival ... Hugo. He is healthy, happy and truly adorable, and we can’t believe the joy he has brought to us, how much we love him and that he is ours! Please can you pass on our thanks to the team at Manchester Fertility and to the lady who was kind enough to donate her eggs, which allowed our dreams to come true! Sending our thanks and best wishes x”
